"
This series of books for wide-awake American lads was begun several
years ago with the publication of "The Rover Boys at School." At that
time the author had in mind to write not more than three volumes,
relating the adventures of Dick, Tom, and Sam Rover at Putnam Hall, "On
the Ocean," and "In the Jungle," but the publication of these books
immediately called for a fourth, "The Rover Boys Out West," and then a
fifth, "The Rover Boys on the Great Lakes." Still my young friends did
not appear to be satisfied, and so I now present to them this sixth
volume, which relates the stirring adventures of the three Rover boys in
the Adirondacks, whither they had gone to solve the mystery of a certain
brass-lined money casket found by them on an island in Lake Huron.
In writing this volume I have had a double purpose in view; not only to
pen a tale which might prove pleasing to all boys, but one which might
likewise give them a fair idea of the wonderful resources and natural
beauty of this section of the United States. Ours is a wonderful
country, and none of us can learn too much concerning it.
